A Shot A Day – 2016(B) (095A of 365)-(04-04)

Canon EOS 5DS R, Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8 IL USM

ISO 400 – 6” @ f/16 – 57mm

The goal is to see the image before you press the shutter release, the reality is sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way. In this image, in post-production, I used an effect that applies edge softness to help guide the viewer’s eye where I want it to go in the composition. Without it I felt the composition was just a little too busy.

Always consider the ways by which you can help the viewer to see what you want them to see and simplify the image at the same time.
